Today I headed to Pleasantview to play the Tellerman family for a few simdays.
On Saturday morning Meidie joined Komei in a game of chess and they both gained a logic point. Meidie lost the game, but beating her dad is no easy task. Komei gained maximum enthusiasm in games. It was both his and Jodie's day off work. Jodie settled down on the couch to gain a much needed mechanical point. Meidie washed Brandy before calling her steady boyfriend Randy London to ask him out on a date, which he accepted. They met at Sims Gone Wired and Meidie treated Randy and herself to nectarine tartlettes in the upstairs diner. They both had a good time. Meidie drove back home and decided to give private school admittance one final shot. The headmaster agreed to come to dinner that night and Meidie set to work making the house spotless. Komei paid to have a fish pond dug in the backyard and went fishing, but caught nothing. He headed to bed at 4:30pm - his sleeping schedule has somehow become very erratic. Meidie managed to break the bathtub not five minutes before the headmaster was due to arrive and the repairman of course couldn't come until the following day. Meidie served up some Santa cookies for the headmaster and then admitted defeat and went to practice on the guitar instead of continuing to schmooze him. She gained a creativity point, anyhow. Komei was up at 9pm (great!) and spent some time practicing chess and playing darts by himself. Meidie was of course rejected for admittance to private school. Komei sat down to write a long blog entry on that morning's chess game with Meidie.
Jodie stayed up late in to the early hours of Sunday morning to gain another much needed mechanical point and then it was straight to bed. Komei spent some time playing SSX3 on the family's computer. It was his and Jodie's day off again. As soon as it was a decent hour to be making phone calls, Meidie called Randy to ask him out on another date (which may be their last). Of course he accepted and she met him in her bathrobe at Gothier Green Lawns (appropriate!) They spent their date fluctuating between slow dancing, kissing, petting and heavy making out. They sure knew how to behave in a cemetary. Their date scored as a dream date. Afterwards, Meidie drove straight over to My Muse - Music & Dance Studio to enter a dance contest. She lost her first one, but won the second. Still in her bathrobe.

She headed home happy with her victory. Jodie spent much of the day studying mechanical books, but didn't manage to gain another point. Komei spent some time in the sauna - not the greatest idea in summer but he was stubborn. Meidie practiced guitar and gained another creativity point. Komei was in bed by midday but woke up three hours later extremely flushed and overheated. It took three glasses of water to cool him down sufficiently. Meidie left for Sim State University to begin her time in college and only Komei cared enough to wave goodbye to her. Afterwards he spent some time on the bubble blower and once again became overheated - took 4 glasses of water to cool him down that time. Darn summer!
On Monday morning Jodie washed Brandy before settling down at the computer to start a tinkering blog - which she has absolutely no hands-on experience at but has read much about. Later on, she played chess with Komei until it was time for them both to go to work. Brandy and Alice had a horrible fight in the living room and Alice won. Komei was promoted to Medical Researcher and drove back to work for a couple of hours (he got paid twice that way). Jodie brought her friend Shea Johnson home from work to hang out. When Komei arrived back home again, he clogged the toilet and called the repairman to fix it the following day. Jodie and Shea became best friends. Jodie called all her other friends to throw a party for her and Komei's wedding anniversary. Komei spent most of the party practicing his chess skills. The party was a success, regardless. Komei wasn't tired at all and decided to pull an all-nighter. He spent his hours reading up on cleaning methods and Jodie wrote yet another tinkering blog entry before heading outside to the telescope for some stargazing.
Afterwards, I headed to Strangetown to play the Roque family. It consists of Gunnar Roque (was originally a member of The Shifting Paradymes Household in La Fiesta Tech) and his wife Jasmine (formerly Jasmine Rai, his college roommate). Gunnar is currently unemployed and Jasmine works in the culinary career as a Drive Through Clerk. Jasmine is heavily pregnant with their first child.
Jasmine fell in to bed exhausted at 7am on Thursday morning. Her pregnancy hasn't been particularly hard, apart from her energy levels. Gunnar cleaned the bathroom and gained a cleaning point for his trouble. He baked a batch of Santa cookies for lunch and settled down with some old medical books to learn physiology. Jeannie Gray (townie) called Jasmine for a chat and offered her a furniture discount. Jasmine threw a party and invited Jeannie to come along so she could get to know her a little better. She was pretty grateful for the furniture discount, since she was soon to buy baby furniture. She was back in bed by 8:30pm due to pregnancy sleepiness. Gunnar convinced one of the guests, Rodney Jung, to clean the house for him and then spent the rest of the party playing football in the front yard with Jeannie. The party was a total flop.
On Friday morning Jasmine purchased a bar in the hopes of improving her future parties. She took the weight off her feet by spending a few hours playing Sims 3. Gunnar served a basic breakfast of cereal and they sat down to a leisurely breakfast together. He's a surprisingly devoted husband for a romance sim - all those drama professors from college who repeatedly broke his heart must have opened his eyes some. He managed to clog the toilet after breakfast and immediately called the repairman to come during business hours. At 8:32am Jasmine gave birth to a healthy baby girl whom she named Gunine. She has her father's coloring. Jasmine called a nanny to arrange care for Gunine during her work hours. She threw a party to welcome Gunine to the world and spent a great deal of money not only on baby furniture but also on upgrading the family television set and purchasing a DJ booth. Jasmine became best friends with Guy Wrightley after spending most of the party hanging out with him. However, the party was a disaster, due to a randy drama professor making unwelcome advances towards everybody. The trash can got knocked over at some point during the day and the lot developed a cockroach infestation. Jasmine called the exterminator to come out the next morning before heading to work exhausted. Gunnar spent the entire afternoon reading parenting books until he felt he knew everything there was to know about being a parent. Jasmine was promoted to Fast Food Shift Manager and passed out on the front lawn upon arriving home. I woke her up so she could go to bed.
On Sunday morning Gunnar faced what he had been most afraid of since Gunine's birth - changing a diaper! He spent some time bonding with his newborn daughter before settling down with a cookbook to gain three cooking points. Jasmine called Rodney Jung for a chat in the hopes of getting to know him a little better (it's always good to make friends with people you can convince to clean your house). Afterwards, she and Gunnar spent some time slow dancing and being all sweet in the kitchen. Jasmine invited Rodney over to hang out and they became friends. She threw another house party and made a quick call to her best friend Guy Wrightley for a chat before work. Gunnar gained membership to Sue's Secret Kitchen. He bought a birthday cake and helped little Gunine grow in to a toddler. The party was a success.

Gunine not only has her father's coloring, she also has all of his facial features excepting her mother's big doe eyes. I sincerely hope she'll grow in to that face - so far it looks quite unfortunate for a little girl!
